Questions RE: elastometric roof coating
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:10 am
I have owned a 93 14X60 for about a year now, and I have a need to coat the roof. As a preface I have the repair manual from this site, and I have done some searching, but there are still a couple of questions that I have.
The home does NOT have any coating on it now, but it does have silicone in areas due to prior leaks. I realize that I will need to remove all traces of this as it does not play nice with elastometric coatings.
1/3 of the roof has surface rust. I am assuming that this will need to be removed. Is that correct, and what has worked well for others in the past to remove this besides metal sanding paper and blocks?
Is there a technique for coating near the edges besides using a brush in order to not clog up the mini-gutters. (Quite useless little buggers) LOL.
Any bits of wisdom that I have missed in searches would be wonderful, but then again you don't know what bits of wisdom I have picked up here, so any wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
I have done some of the typical repairs on the home. New exterior door, new plumbing fixtures and sinks, etc. I am going to tackle a couple of soft spots in the subfloor this winter.
